Let's say Van Halen decides to go with a 4th singer. Will you still consider yourself a diehard VH fan? Will you buy the album? Will you go to the show?
I'd have to probably answer "no" to all three questions, UNLESS what they put out is REALLY good. I never bought VH3 and have only ever heard "Without You" a few times. To me it's almost like VH hasn't had new material since the Greatest Hits fiasco. (MWM and CGTSNM were great, BTW.) They would almost have to choose a singer that I really like for me to even consider buying anything new.

I would go buy the album and save up for the concert! You fellas that are too "proud" can stay home and cry about whatever you have been crying about. Listen and enjoy is my latest motto! DLR or not: Van Halen is Van Halen.

I totally agree Cock, (LOL).......... but if somehow they put out something with a new singer that actually was really good, would you be able to get into it?
I think I could forgive VH if they put out something that was REALLY awesome with another singer. (maybe)
Maybe they wouldn't be the classic "MIGHTY VH", but I would think they would be capable of putting out something great if they really wanted to.

I agree, too - the original lineup is what it's all about for me - but I enjoyed Sammy, and even a little bit of the Gary material.

But I wouldn't put it past them to put out some good material with another new singer.

We need to realize that it's been almost 20 years (20 years!!!! ) since they were together as a band, and that a lot of things have changed - it may not be anything like we expect it to be if it does happen (the reunion). Not that it wouldn't ROCK of course.

If a 4th singer came around and it was good, I'd still ignore it. Just because a new album is "good" it is not good enough for me!

Van Halen is Van Halen to me. (Sammy or Dave) Not Gary or anybody else...I can handle one personnel change, but c'mon...3, and possibly 4? No way!

Jumping on the bandwagon just because a new album with a 4th singer is "good" is like the guy who's favorite teams are always the ones who are currently winning. You know, like the guy who conviently claims that his favorite teams are the Lakers, Yankees, Dallas Cowboys, etc.

I know, I know the Cowboys suck this year, and the Yankees lost to Arizona...so the guy in this little story is now a Arizona Diamondback and St. Louis Ram fan, even though the guy lives in Detriot. [img]smile.gif[/img] You follow me?

Lou and Hain already took my answer, but honestly, I'll laugh my ass off as Eddie turns his life into the sequel to "This Is Spinal Tap".

At least if Alex explodes on stage, a few seconds of the show will be worth watching.....

For me, ADKOT was the first album to finally approach the incendiary intensity of the six pack. A big reason for this is The creative friction and competition between Ed and Dave. That push/pull...
